Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif alleged Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis did not know how to bowl with the new ball and he used to cheat with the ball to get reverse swing.
Speaking in an interview, he said, “He (Waqar Younis) used to cheat with the ball to do reverse swing. He didn’t know how to bowl with the new ball in most of his career. He learned a bit about bowling a new ball in the twilight phase of his career.” said Asif.
Asif also said that Waqar could not develop a bowler who could bowl perfect reverse swing. He also stated that Pakistan do not have quality pacers at the moment and called for a change immediately.
“You know him as a master of reverse swing but he never developed a single bowler who could bowl a perfect reverse swing. These people are in coaching for the last 20 years but they never produced quality bowlers. They lack consistency in making combinations. We have quantity, not quality bowlers. There is a pool of eight pacers and they are being rotated with no plan. This approach needs to be changed,” he added.
